RAPiD® Safe Setup and Operation
Congratulations on purchasing the technologically advanced RAPiD® Safe Night Guard®.
You have taken a significant step in securing the safety of your firearms.
To achieve the best experience with your RAPiD® Safe, please read all instructions carefully, and understand its operation.

After the RAPiD®Safe has been taken out of the box, please check to be sure both circular barrel keys fit and unlock your RAPiD® Safe. Contact Hornady® at800-338-3220 if the keys do not work. Store keys in a secure location outside the safe.

Open Safe with Key

The RAPiD® Safe includes two barrel keys that will open the safe when inserted into the lock on the back panel of the RAPiD® Safe and turned clockwise.
NOTE: Store keys in a secure location outside of the safe.

AC Power

The RAPiD® Safe is designed to be powered by either the AC power supply or four AAA batteries.
To connect the AC power supply, plug the power cord into the jack on the back of the safe.

Keypad Tones On/Off

With the door open and unlocked, press and hold the “H” button on the keypad for 5 seconds until the light turns off to toggle sound on and off.

Batteries

To install batteries, press the lower-left corner of the battery cover on the front of the safe. Insert four (4) high-quality AAA batteries according to the diagram. Replace all batteries at the same time.
NOTE: The battery symbol near the clock display will illuminate red when the batteries are weak. Plugin the safe or replace batteries immediately.

Battery Power Mode

When the RAPiD® Safe is unplugged and is operating on battery power, you must press any button on the keypad to activate the reader.
Pressing any button on the keypad causes the system to go from battery saving mode to ready status.

For example: To open your safe with an RFID tag, while the system is running on battery power, first press any button on the keypad to bring it to ready status.
Place your RFID tag within 1″ of the center of the clock display to open the safe.
Note : When in Battery Power Mode, the clock display will turn off after approximately 10 seconds to conserve batter power. Press any button to illuminate the clock display.

How to Program Your RFID Tags

You’re RAPiD® The safe includes three (3) styles of RFID tags, including:

• 1 Watchband Tag
• 1 Key Fob
• 2 Decals

*Additional styles can be purchased separately.

To program these tags:

1. Open the RAPiD Safe with either the key or a previously programmed RFID tag or key code. The safe does not ship with preprogrammed RFID tags. An RFID tag must be programmed to work with this safe.

2. Locate the red program button inside the drawer on the back wall. Press and release the button to begin programming an RFID tag. The first available program location will begin to blink.

3. Hold the RFID tag within 1″ of the illuminated RFID reader area (clock display) on the drawer front If the programming was successful, the safe should beep two times and the available slot should go from blinking to solid red for approximately ten seconds.
   NOTE: If the user attempts to program an RFID tag that is already stored in the safe it will beep three times and the RFID tag will not be programmed into the duplicate slot.  The RFID tag can only be programmed into one location.

4. Verify the RFID tag is programmed by holding the tag over the clock display with the drawer open. The motor should cycle after each scan.

5. If the RFID tag is not programmed, the program function will time out after ten seconds and the safe will return to normal operation. If multiple attempts to program an RFID tag fails, please contact Hornady® at 800-338-3220.

6. One to five RFID tags can be programmed into the safe.

NOTE: Due to potential interference from the body (attenuation), the RFID watchband tag should be worn on the outside or bottom of the wrist and may need to be brought within 1-inch of the reader to activate the safe. The RFID reader will likely not read through the wrist.

NOTE: The RFID decal can be placed on a variety of objects. However, metal surfaces may cause interference and reduce the read distance. The integrated metal housing on some cell phones combined with potential interference from other wireless signals such as Bluetooth, NFC, etc., may reduce the read distance of the RFID decal.
Before adhering the RFID decal to a mobile phone, we recommend trying different locations on the back of the device to find the optimum read distance. Placing the decal on the outside of an accessory cover will also improve the read distance, but may cause excessive wear, resulting in a shortened life of the decal. When placing

the decal on the inside of an accessory cover, DO NOT face it toward the mobile phone. The decal must face outward (away from the phone) to work optimally.
Before placing the RAPiD Safe into service, verify the decal works properly under various conditions (i.e. the wireless apps on your mobile phone are on).

How to Remove All Tags From Safe

1. Open the RAPiD® Safe with either the key, a previously programmed RFID tag, or key code. Locate the red program button. Press and hold the button for five seconds to erase all previously programmed tags.
   All five red LEDs will begin to blink in sequence. The safe does not allow individual tags to be removed. They must all be erased at one time. The intended RFID tags can then be reprogrammed with the “How to Program Your RFID Tags” section.
   NOTE: To abort the erase procedure, press the “H” button on the drawer of the safe or do not touch anything and the erase procedure will automatically abort after 10 seconds and return to normal operation. Test RFID tags and the key code to confirm they are operational.
   

2. To confirm erasing procedure, press and release the program button again.
   All five LEDs will blink three times to visually confirm all RFID tags have been removed. The RFID tags will no longer work until they are reprogrammed with the instructions in the “How to Program Your RFID Tags” section.

How to Program Your Key Code

A single user-defined 4 to 6-digit code can be entered into the RAPiD® Safe Night Guard®.

1. Open the RAPiD Safe with either the key, a previously programmed RFID tag or key code. The safe ships with a default code and should be reprogrammed before first use.
2. Locate the red program button to begin programming your key code. The first available tag location will begin to blink to indicate program mode.
3. With the drawer open, enter a 4 to 6-digit code on the keypad. Press the “H” after entering your code. Verify your code is correct by re-entering your code and pressing “H”.  The motor should cycle.
4. Your key code can now be used to open the safe.

NOTE: Only one keycode can be entered into the safe. If a second code is entered, it will override the previous code. **A total of five RFID tags and one key code can be entered into the safe.

Closing the Night Guard

The safe has a latch closure sensor that will illuminate the LED in the keypad when the drawer is closed.
Green – Latch has fully closed.
Blinking Red – Latch has NOT fully closed.
To close the safe, press the drawer in until the latch clicks. Verify green light appears on the keypad.

USB Charging Ports

Total Output: 5VDC 2.0A

How to Program Clock

To program the clock display, press and hold the TIME button until the hour digit begins to blink (approximately 5 seconds). Press the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to adjust the hour.
Press the TIME button again to switch to minutes and adjust with the UP and DOWN arrow buttons. Pressing the TIME button again will finish setting the time.
To adjust the brightness of the clock display, press the UP and DOWN arrow buttons until the desired brightness is reached.
The clock display can be turned off by pressing the DOWN arrow button until the clock display is off.
Note: The clock will stay illuminated when the safe is plugged into a wall outlet.
When in Battery Power Mode, a clock display will turn off after approximately 10 seconds to conserve battery power.

Securing Your Safe

|
---|---

To maintain the security of the safe either use the included security cable or bolt the safe to a secure structure.
Using the Security Cable Wrap the security cable around a secure object and place the ferrule end through the loop in the cable.
With the drawer open, snap the narrowest diameter of the ferrule into the back of the safe by gently pushing the ferrule end against the spring plate and sliding the ferrule down. As the drawer closes, it presses against the spring plate and locks the ferrule in place.
To remove the security cable, open the safe and press the pin above the ferrule while lifting the ferrule.

Bolting Down the Safe
Remove the drawer by gently pulling it out while pressing the plastic tab on the left side up and the tab on the right side down. Note the small electrical wire that runs from the  back of the safe to the back of the drawer.

CAUTION: Do not pull or pinch the cable as it may damage the wiring.

Mark and pre-drill holes before installing the appropriate fasteners for your application.

Reinstall the drawer by aligning the drawer slides with the slides on the housing. Before pushing the drawer into the housing, verify that the electrical wire connection is safely inside the housing and will not be pinched as the drawer is closed.
